Pairing diamond gobies

[hajas]

I've tried to purchase a pair of diamond gobies a couple times, and had bad luck with DOAs. Now thinking about buying 2 from a LFS and trying to make a pair. Is this possible or am I going to have constant fighting? I've got a 210 g tank. I'd really like a pair, starting to think it may be tougher than I thought.

I think success is unlikely. Coexistence long term even in a six foot tank if problematic.

I have been lucky twice, bought a big one and a little one. Not sure if they became a true pair but it was fun watching them swim everywhere together.

I also have had a lot of success pairing these fish, I have found that they readily pr if you have 1 large and 1 small added together or 2 small added at the same time.
